If you would like to read “Somebody Brave” all by itself and not spring for a whole anthology, you’re in luck! It’s now available DRM-free on Amazon (which means if you don’t have a Kindle, you can easily convert it to the file format of your choosing; my program of choice is the freeware Calibre)

“The Blue Dress,” a macabre little story about a young couple trapped in the mountains during a bad winter, first appeared in Dark Valentine Magazine‘s inaugural issue. The magazine no longer exists, but you can pick up a digital copy of the short story for free on Smashwords.
